difficult for informant and written reports tend to omit many pertitteht
details, re activities covered.. Also, in view of the volime of activity
covered, it appears, that writing eVerv report, in view, of i nformants
lack of formal education, would, be a burden which ! b ight find
insupportable. Informant. is, however, -being encouraged to prepare .

MEMO, SAC
|took notes for the Progressive Party. This meeting was
arranged by the P. P. on the Heights; Only those who were on
the Heights contributed to the case of whiskey.
l ift his introduction merely commented about the pleasure of
having the Presidential candidate’s wife, who serves in his
stead while he is imprisoned, but not for 3bng, because we hope to
\set the stage so that the right people will be jailed instead
of progressives like HALLINAN, whose only crime was the
defense of one of labor’s strongest defenders of labor rights,
HARRY BRIDGES. That was his introduction.
i
"Mrs, HALLINM then spoke and she brought out a few points with
regard to her children; how they were given to understant why
their father was imprisoned;, and they have a working class
knowledge of the struggle of the P. PL, what they are working
for and striving for.
"She would up by telling that they are one of the biggest
property owners in California. She said that they own apartment
buildings downtown, and they permit colored people to move in.
She mentioned about her own personal holdings, which she has
as a result of trust funds and endowments; and she is now
beginning to feel the sharpness of mortgage holders on a few
of her apartment buildings, because she has permitted colored
to move in. The mortgagors are insisting on payment of mortgages
because of her progressive policy of moving in colored. That
tended to depreciate the value of the apartment buildings.
She stated that she was in daily communication with her children,
and they tell her to stay as long as she has an audience to talk
to, and they give her the driving force to campaign for her
husband. She is in daily communication with her husband by mail,
and he now states that s'ince the first two weeks, when the
restriction with regard to his mail coming in and answering, that
he how has unlimited permission, and received as much of the mail
' that comes in. He is imprisoned with other political prisoners
on McNeil Island, because they are fighting for what they
believe. He says he is making a lot of converts in prison to
the progressive cause.
"She was asked various questions.
| | asked what she would estimate her property
holdings and how did she reconcile her position as property
owner and landlord and fighter for progressives and tenants,
as she said she had often done. She said that definitely
for good reason she had never bothered to ascertain what b6
she was worth. She was not concerned with that, because the
C.P.A. ’S take care of the records and let her know what the
profits and what the deficits are,
’’Later I overheard l I state that in her opinion
the selecting committee had made a bad choice in the HALLINANS
in that they were vastly wealthy and could not appreciate the
struggles, and would go back to the lush living after the
campaign is over, and the workers and the lesser livers would
have to be stuck with the stigma of whatever abuse comes out
of this year’s campaign. This statement was made to JULIA
BROWN. , .
asked her whether she knew if I l had
received •cne statement of Supreme -Court Justice JACKSON, with
regard to his opinion on a case, he said in Cleveland, where
in his dissenting opinion with regard to lawyers standing
up for their clients irrespective of the clients political
feeling She said that HALLINAN had received it, and she had
received a copy of the statement.
b
made the collection speech. She pointed out that b
since the sponsors of the reception were the Progressive
Party on the Heights, she was going to start with the Progressive
Party on the Heights in makins_bnr_appeal. She reported that in
order that Mrs. HALLINAN andl [when he is out, would be
able to go throughout the country amd make the type of speeches
in support of his candidacy, that much depended on how much
could be raised by sizable contributions, and she would up by
askin g who has §100,00 or more t o contribu te ot the campaign
-fund. I leave faOO ; I Iga ve #100;
[save #100; | Igave

she said, any more #100 ’s? Sho thanked those who were able

gave $75*00. Nobody gave $50*00 from the Heights, but they 1
then opened up the general collection for everybody on the
Heights. Now she says our hosts have contributed otfer $>600.00.
How much are we as guests and friends of the P. P. from other
parts of the city going to give? She said we can’t afford
to do it like they do on the Heights, because we are working
people, but we should contribute something, JULIA BROWN started
with &2ELQ0. a nd JULIA, was the rvnlv.one who gave $25.00.
I I gave | gave $5; I gaye
|5j the man just returned from Israel gave $5j| |gave $5*
Then the reamining people gave $1,00 or more. It was estimated
that close to $800.00 was collected. This was turned over to
DON R0THENEERG.
’’The man just returned from Israel then spo3©. Be has been
here for 2 weeks. He is the representative of the Coop
Movement that represents 13 % of the voters in Israel. He is
a refugee from some other place. All of those in his particular
Coop Group are also refugees. He briefly pointed out how they
differed xfith the policies of the Government, who are attempti:ng
to become satellites of the British and Americans. They asked
his questions, how. it differed from ouh farm coops, and he
said it was different because they staked out land for the
experimental purposes. Our coops are capitalistic institutions
Not too many questions were asked him. He is leaving within
the next few weeks, and is returning to Israel. He did not
indicate what his mission was, but is here for a study of the
techniques.
received a call, and then made an announcement

further pointed out that as capable as the Cleveland Police Department
seems to he these and other hoodlums must be known to the police regular

the attack took place is reputed to be a regular hongout for hoodlums
which must be known to the police.

read off a list of other attacks on negroes by even the Cleveland Police
Department, citing the instances of those who had been shot and killed
by the police who were negroes in the past two years, numbering approx-

land, Ohio, housewife, was an FBI “informant” in the Communist
Party and Communist front groups,
The personable woman, who is now living in retirement on the West
Coast, penetrated Communist circles in the early 50’s, ro'se to the posi-
tion of treasurer of her section and survived, at great danger to herself,
attempts by party toughs to weed out FBI undercover workers.
During this period, Mrs, Brown provided valuable information to the
government on the Communist Party and its efforts to infiltrate the ,
NAACP, other civil rights, organizations and Negro churches. She
slipped Communist documents to the FBI and wrote regular reports
on Communist-inspired meetings which were attended, she says, by
singer Paul Robeson and other Negroes,
Mrs. Brown carried off her masquerade with such aplomb that
Communist colleagues offered to give her a party when she gave up
the work last June and moved to the West Coast. And she received
Christmas cards from some of her former associates as late as last
December. For the Ohio Communist Party, this exclusive article will
confirm for the first time what was suspected but never proven: Com-
rade Julia was, indeed, an FBI agent. For the former Comrade Julia,
tins article marks the end of a long nightmare of pretending and in-
triguer. When the 55-year-old woman turned in her final report last
April, she was on the verge of mental and physical collapse.
“I was going just about nuts,”' she says, “and my health was going. I
had contracted arthritis, running around to meetings late at night in the
rain and cold and snow. And then last year, I almost had a nervous
breakdown. I had to stop. I was being taxed. I haven t gotten back
to my real self yet. I guess you never do.”
Despite the high price she paid, Mrs. Brown is convinced that her
undercover activities were right and necessary. Her long association
- with Communists has convinced her that the party is^ioTiiitereWd'ifT
the Negro’s struggle for civil rights, In fact, she says, the Communist
Party is prostituting the legitimate grievances of Negroes to further its
own end. It is vitally necessary, she adds, for Negro Americans to
understand six points about the party and its current program:
1) “They have always believed in the overthrow of the government.
They preach it. They teach there is no other way to gain their ends.
They talk in the open now about coexistence, but they get in a meeting
and if they’re sure everybody is loyal, they’ll let you know there is no
such thing as peaceful coexistence.”
2) “The Communist Party is weaker today among Negroes than it
was 10 years ago. Negroes are opening their eyes. The party is preach-
ing but not practicing. There is as mqch prejudice in the Communist
Party as there is in Mississippi. They pick a few Negroes to represent
all the rest of the Negroes, Communists pretend that they don’t believe
in white chauvinism,' but there is plenty of segregation in the party.”
\ 3) Top Red officials are “disillusioned by the response of Negroes.
In Cleveland, New York and Chicago, from 1948 to 1951, there were a
goodly number of Negro members. So many of them are not active
today, are not paying their dues and are not attending meetings. Over
the entire United States, I feel sure there are no more than a few real
dyed-in-the-wool Negro Communists. There are loads of sympathizers,
of course, and a lot of fellow-travelers, but there aren’t many dyed-in-
the-wool Negro Communists.”
4) “Negro leadership must remain alert. Communists are barging in
,every chance they get. And the greatest opportunity for mass penetra-
tion is what is going on now among Negroes.” She says the party
recently ordered an all-out drive in the Negro community. The
NAACP: She thinks the Reds have “little or no” influence on the
NAACP as a whole. But at one time, she says, Red big-wigs boasted
that the Chicago chapter of the NAACP had been successfully infil-
trated. Subsequently, she reports, Roy Wilkins, NAACP executive
secretary, and local leaders moved in and cleaned up the chapter.
Negro churches: “They have attempted to infiltrate every Negro organ-
ization. The churches, especially. The last meeting I went to, they
were talking about infiltrating the churches more. They want members
^EojS'in 'the" church and be active in die* club’fandTocieSerTli^^
even tying to get into the Roman Catholic Church.” Mrs. Brown adds:
“I know a young man, a member of the Communist Party, who finished
school and the party sent him to school to become a minister. He is
now assistant minister of a church in Cleveland. He is a Communist.
I have been to meetings with him. They are doing that now, sending
Reenacting bold coup she pulled for FBI, Mrs. Julia C. Brown looks on as husband, James Brown ( 1. ) , transfers records of Communist-front organization to car of Federal agent
(posed by model). Unsuspecting leaders of organization had asked her to hide records in basement of her home. Mrs. Brown relaxes ( opp. page) in yard of West Coast home.

Last home in Cleveland was brick house on Edgewood Avenue. Neighbors believed

party members to school to become ministers.”
5) In a stepped-up drive to win more Negro members , particularly
Negro men , the party is using sex bait , i. e,, white women , parties and
dances. “They use dances, house parties, anything, to get people in the
party. It’s an old Communist method. They use women as bait.”
6) The extent of Communist penetration among Negroes is some-
times exaggerated by well-meaning but uninformed persons. She dis-
agrees with former President Truman who was quoted as saying the
sit-in movement was Communist-inspired. Mrs. Brown, who attended
state and national party conventions, says: “The sit-in movement was
not Communist-inspired, but the Communists have tried to infiltrate it.
Truman was wrong. The Communists would have never inspired a
movement based bn passive resistance. They don't believe in that.
They don’t do anything that’s decent. But after it started, they tried
to jump on the bandwagon.”
Mrs. Brown offers these observations in the hope that American
Negroes will take them to heart and avoid the snares and pitfalls of the
party. She learned the hard way. Thirteen years ago, she became
involved with the party during a local election in Cleveland. At that
time, Mrs. Brown and her husband, James, were solid and substantial
citizens of the community. They owned their own home. They were
Episcopalians. Mr. Brown was a capitalist of sorts. He was in the
contract hauling business and he owned three trucks.
But Airs. Brown was bored with “being just a housewife” and she
burned with a passion to do something about the injustices of the
world. The Communists cleverly exploited her dissatisfaction. Little
by little, they drew her into their orbit. They praised her work in the
political campaign. They invited her to parties. They praised her
ingenuity, her boldness and her drive. Finally, in December of 1947,
she was given the “rush act” at a Christmas party. Mrs. Brown says
she was recruited by Frieda Zucker Katz, who was one of the leaders
of the Civil Rights Congress.

Making contact with FBI agent in reenactment staged with professional model, Mrs.
Brown turns over documents and reports on part>^ plans. She went to meetings hy
indirect route. She says she has been in an FBI office only one time in her life.
/ WAS A SPY FOR THE FBI Conf/nuecf ' ---
Comrade Julia, as party m emb ers called lier, soon discovered that
the work of an FBI undercover agent involves more day-to-day drudg-
ery than cloak-and-dagger excitement. She attended Communist meet-
ings three and four and. sometimes five times a week. She went to house
parties and dances. And she wrote reports on everything she saw and
heard. At least once a month, she met an FBI agent and gave him
documents and other material she had gathered. She also communi-
cated wit la tlae IT 13 1 by mail and lay" telephone. Her FBI code name
was ~G. G. End/"
"The FBI expected plenty of you/ > she says. "I had to watch and
be a Tale to describe and identify people at meetings. I had to listen
very carefully to what was said and who said it. I had to look for
identifying marks ora people X didn't know; I laad to rem ember tlaeix:
laeiglat, age, color of eyes, etc., X was just nervous all tlae time. I was
driven on oxae laaxad lay tlae C o zaaxaaaxxa i s t s axad on tlae other lay tlae FBI.
T wasn't driven lay tlae IT 13 1, but tlaey laad standards fox- you to oome
up to and you struggled To coxaae up to them.”
One of tlae xneetings Mrs. Brown says slae reported to tlae EI3I was
la eld at a laall on Auburn Avenue oxa tlae West Side of Cleveland. Slae
says Paul liobeson was oxae of tlae main speakers. Slae says slae went
njp to tlae rostrum axad talked to Robeson aft ex- tlae naeeting. "I knew
laim ip ex-son ally/' slae says. "I laave met him at Communist Party con-
ventions axad meetings at least four or five times.”
The housewife-turned-spy says la ex- biggest coup as an agent was tlae
turning ovex- to tlae FBI of tlae records of a Communist-front organiza-
tion. Slae says oxae of tlae leaders of tlae organization asked her to laide
tlae x-ecox-ds in her basemexat. '"I put tlae x-ecox-ds in my basement/' slae
says, "and tlaen I called the FBI. They laad me get nay husband and
bring tlae records down behind tlae Cleveland Indians ball park. - Tlaey

Recalling: her experiences as undercover agent, Mrs. Brown runs gamut of emotions.
Her expressive face mirrors uncertainty, anger art cl amusement. “I have never
said I was working for tlie KBI,” she say's. “I worked te i tli. the FBI for my country.”
“Frieda asked me to sign my name to a long piece of paper,” ivlrs.
Brown says. "I had no time to read it„ but X was interested in joining
an organization that was fighting for civil rights and so I joined. X had
a certain ambition to do something that needed to be done for me and
nay people. So here, I thought, is a group of white people on my side.
At first, you would tin ink they are the finest people in the ’world. Abso-
lutely no difference. JNTo segregation . It was just as if they didn’t know
the difference between Negro and white. It’s only when yon are deeply
embedded in the party that yon find ont what’s behind all this/'
It didn’t take Mrs. Brown long to see through the veils of the illusion.
She realized after a few meetings that she had a rod bear by the tail. :
The wild talk afoont revolutions and overthrowing the government i
frightened laea*. And then, before she could got la or balance, the party :
askod la or for* $100 to help finance party leaders wlao were going ran d or—
ground to avoid arrests under the S xaa itla Act and tlao Nixon-Mundt 13111.
Clearly, Mrs. Brown thought, tlais is no ordinary political party.
Tlao Cleveland housewife also objected to tlao strict thought oontrol
imposed on party members . In 1948, slao broke wi tla tlao party ovea* tlao
rival candidacies of President Truman and Henry Wallace. "I worke d
witla tlao- party,” slao explained, “to pant Henry Wallace ovor. And I
continued going to meetings. But I became siok of what tlaoy woa*o
saying ala ont Ana erica and I took Wallace’s picture off nay house and
pant up Truman’s picture. After T a- nan axa won, Frieda Katz told me I
could never become a Communist laocauso I wouldn’t lot them
guide me.”
Six: aaaoaatlas later, Mrs. Brown -wont to tlao IT 13 1 and reported what slao
la ad done. After tlao interview, slao went laonao and tried to forget tlao
whole miserable exp erience. Then, ala ont a year later, an IT 13 1 agent
called on her and askod her to go la a ok into tlao party as an un der cover
agent. Mrs. Brown said slao would try. Slao started mingling witla
Communists. Slao distributed leaflets and made herself available for
paarty causes. Slao was latex* reinstated in tlao party.

cinct. But they pushed me out altogether. I was hurt very mucb there,
because I loved my work. Even the neighborhood clubs refused to
accept me. X was just something that smelled to them.”
Ivirs. Brown could bave dispelled this fog of distrust with a word, but
she couldn’t say the word and so she suffered in silence. Only her
husband and one or two other* persons were privy to her- secret. She
was even barred from confiding in her minister- “That’s why I lost my
health/’ she says. “I couldn’t sit down and explain to anyone. I had
to keep to myself and pray and work out things the best way I could/’

another insurance company came out triad wrote insurance on the car

There were other blows that Mr*s. Brown had to Paco alone. She says
she faced a big crisis of conscience when she was ordered Toy tire p ar ty
to infiltrate tire NAACP. "T went into itg” sire says., “with two faces. I
went in to do a real job for tire NAACP and to nr alee reports hack to
tire Communist Party tire way X saw fit. I tried to Ire fair to tire NAACP
and False to tire Cdommmrists. I didn't intend to harm tire NAACP in

around. “They didn’t say any tiring to me/*’ sire reports, “but yon could
feel tire air getting cold . Tlrey didn’t allow me to move in any direction.
Oh, tlrey are smart go y s down in Cleveland, tiros e NAACP guys."
During tire last year's of her service, Mrs . Brown was under suspicion
in tire party. On one occasion, two party officials walked up to her and
demanded tlrat sire give tlrem tire notes sire was writing. “They told
me/’ sire recalls, “that tlrey didn’t waxrt me to lose tire notes and have
tlrem fall into unfriendly hands. ^Why certainly/ I said, tearing up tire
notes at tire same time. ‘Certainly. I didn’t know tlrat.’ I tore tire paper
up into little pieces and gave tire pieces to tire nr witlr a smile.”
Tire former ag6nt believes jealousy played some part in tire charges
tlrat were brought against her in tire party. “There is a lot of jealousy
in tire party against tire few Negroes who aeon mu late any tiring. Tlrey j

they want to. They want to keep tlie Negro oppressed. Well, they
were jealous of me because I had a three-family home and then bought
a nice brick home in Shaker Heights. That was one of the reasons they
th o u ght I was working for the HBI. They called me a petty bourgeoisie.
Maybe, tL^ey couldn’t see how I could be a Communist anyway.”
The oat and mouse game reached melodramatic heights during the
last year of Mrs. Brown’s service. She "was threatened. Strange men
trailed her home from Communist mootings. Jam os Brown says he
' heard the oar pull into the driveway ono night and then, almost imme-
diately, he heard a blood-curdling s or earn. t<c I ran out/’ he says, "and
X saw ono man on our sido of the street and two mon on the other side.
My wife says she scroamod when ono of the mon approached the
oar. When I ran out., they ran away.”
^ Tlie Browns to ole preventive measures. They installed a special flood—
' light system ai’ound the house. And they bought King, a big German
shepherd who is fiercely devoted to Mrs. Brown.
King, however, was absent on the niglit that Mrs. Brown faced la or
greatest trial. She was accused at a party meeting of being "a stool
pigeon for the FBI.” A woman said she saw her writing down names
at a state party meeting. Mrs. Brown denied the charge. "I told them
that X didn’t have to write down the names of people I knew. And X
couldn’t write down the iram es of people I didn’t know. I fought back
with everything I lx ad. I had to fight back, because I was ^sore afraid,’ as
the Bible says. I was afraid inside, but I didn’t show it outside. They
bave a way of dealing with you when you don^t act right, like beating
you with a hose.”
Fighting with lxox* back against the wall, feigning indignation and
injured innocence, Mrs. Brown out talked her accuser’s and tlxe matter
was dropped. A few months later, she left tire party and wont to tiro
West Coast to live.
"I Irate wlrat I left,” slro says, "I was very glad to got away from it. I
am so relieved. I have to adjust myself and find new friends and even
learn lrow to act among* tlr ose jpeojple. Tiro almost nine years took every-
thing away. X forgot tiro fine things X was used to doing and thinking.
Being in tiro Communist Party drags you down and degrades you.
When I left, X couldn’t t hi irk good. X was crabby and cross. X seemed
to Ira vo had to do it tiro hard way. One thin g tlr at helped to make it
hard for me is tlrat my education was limited. X didn’t go to college/ I
only went through high school.”
Ivlx-s. Brown, wlro was born in Atlanta, Georgia, and migrated to the
TsTox'th wheir she was 17, refuses to say how much money she was paid
by the FBI. She says simply that the FBI paid her* expenses. And she
insists that she would do it agaixr if it 'wox'o necessary.
"Some people,” she concludes, "will ' look down on me, but as for
myself, I will, as I always have, hold my head high and be very p>roud
and grateful that I had the privilege to serve my country as any loyal
Am eric an should do. And if I a nr ever asked or see any reason to serve
on my own agaixr, I will proudly do so.”

It is our privilege to invite you to attend the Congress
of the Peoples for Peace which will convene in Vienna,
December 12th, 1952.
The Congress in Vienna has been inspired by men and women
of good will in all lands who have a deep concern that a
peaceful settlement of international tensions be found and
that the horrors of war be averted. Without regard to race,
nationality, religious faith or political opinion, seekers
for peace will come from eighty or more countries to talk
together, in friendly fellowship, in an effort to find ways
to live in peace together.
We believe that because of your own dedication to peace
and friendship among the peoples of the world, and because
of your position of influence in the American community, you
will have a vital contribution to make to this great dis-
cussion. Out of your experience you will be able to in-
terpret the problems of peace, as the American people see
them, to the hundreds of equally concerned men and women who
will come from all parts of the world.
At Vienna, the various national groups will present
the issues and solutions as they see them. There will be
a free give and take. You will have the opportunity to speak
without reserve out of your heart and independent con-
victions.
We trust you will accept our invitation to be present
at the Congress; We stand ready to help you in any way pos-
sible with such matters as securing a passport and travel
arrangements.
You will be interested to know that there are religious,
trade union and civic bodies that have expressed an interest
in helping persons go to Vienna who can represent various
viewpoints with respect to winning the peace.
Won’t you let us know'at the earliest moment whether you
can plan to attend the Congress for Peace in Vienna?
Sincerely yours.
Willard Uphaus
